Selling your home can feel overwhelming—but avoiding a few common mistakes makes the process much smoother. 🚪✨

Here are 3 big ones to watch out for:
1️⃣ Overpricing – The first impression matters, and pricing too high can turn away potential interest.
2️⃣ Skipping Staging – A clean, well-staged home helps buyers picture themselves living there.
3️⃣ Ignoring Curb Appeal – The outside sets the tone before anyone steps in the door.

Avoid these, and you’ll be set up for a more successful sale! 🙌

What do you think is the hardest part about selling a home?
